Jiang Xuezhou was about to ask what it was, but Ibers seemed to have guessed what she would ask and continued to speak.

"It's the soul."

"I have stayed in this city for a long time, and thanks to this I have a pair of eyes that can see things that others cannot see. Some people are just a piece of meat in front of me, and only the moment of death will burst out.

A little spark like that. But some people have priceless treasures that I covet. His soul is like a burning torch that you never get tired of looking at."

Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help but complain.

"I think you've simply passed the scrap date..."

"Maybe." Ibers smiled and nodded, "But unfortunately, I am not a bionic human produced through normal means, but a special product of a special era..."

Before Jiang Xuezhou could answer, the lunatic suddenly began to lament with self-pity.

"How sad... My master's master designed the final death for my master, but my master forgot to design my ending. Maybe I should find a corner to squat down and draw a few circles."

"..." Jiang Xuezhou looked at this guy speechlessly, not knowing what to say.

But it can be considered a blessing from him.

Being interrupted like this, all the entanglements in her heart disappeared...

…

【...The above is the result of our negotiation.】

[The Tree of Life expresses its willingness to establish a closer symbiotic relationship with us, including repairing the damaged ecological environment on the wasteland, providing technical services such as establishing biospheres and promoting the production of agricultural products for our extra-solar development zones.]

[In exchange, it expressed the hope that we can provide it with some chemical fertilizers or similar nutrients that can promote plant growth. Of course, it would be better if we could arrange a few rangers who are proficient in nutrition and psychic abilities. 】

Dawn City Alliance Building.

Chu Guang, who was sitting at his desk, read Ye Shi's report from beginning to end, his face filled with relief and admiration.

"Yes, this kid has indeed grown up a lot and is much more reliable in doing things than before."

Xiao Qi happily blew a rainbow fart and said.

"Hey, it's mainly because the master has trained me well."

"Hahaha, that's true. You don't even know who I am."

Chu Guang smiled, feeling proud for a while, then left a [read] on the report, put the tablet aside, and went to deal with other things.

At the same time, the southernmost part of the Central Continent, the French Fries Port in the Baiyue Strait.

Ye Shi, who was sitting in the hotel executive lounge killing time, finally waited for a reply from the manager.

However, when he saw the one-word reply, he almost spit out the coke from his mouth.

"Gan! I wrote so many words, how come I only read the reply?!"

Seeing this guy's ignorant look, Lao Bai laughed and said.

"You are still young and don't understand the value of this word."

Ye Shi: "...What do you mean?"

Fang Chang, who was sitting opposite, smiled slightly and said.

"To put it simply, the manager thinks there is nothing wrong with you and allows you to continue and keep working hard."

After a pause, he continued.

"Based on my past experience, the fewer words in his response to the mission briefing, the higher the completion rating. If there is a long paragraph in it, it means he is in a hurry."

Fang Chang has never encountered this kind of situation himself, but I heard from the battlefield brother that he seemed to encounter it often before, and it was not until he became a captain that he gradually stopped encountering it.

Ye Shi scratched the back of his head, his expression not dissatisfied, just a little regretful.

"I thought it would be more grand."

Lao Bai said jokingly.

"Like bringing you a big red flower?"

Ye Shi: "It's not impossible."

Lao Bai: "Hahahaha."

Seeing Ye Shi taking advantage of him and acting well, Fang Chang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"That's almost it. The reward you got is enough to make people jealous. What else do you want?"

Ye Shi smiled sheepishly and said.

"This... the more the merrier, who would think there are too many rewards?"

In fact, he was embarrassed to say it.

The moment he complained, Planner Gou seemed to have heard his complaint, and a series of pop-up windows appeared on his VM screen.

[Congratulations to the player "I got up more than a dozen times a night" for completing the task of "Exploring the Mother Nest of Baiyue Province"! 】

[Task completion: 100%]

[Rating: S]

[Reward: Limited title of "Jungle Conqueror", 10,000 contribution points, and a reward of one million silver coins! 】

[Server Announcement: The Baiyue Province Mother Nest has evolved into the Tree of Life, and its power relationship with the alliance is "ally". Unauthorized hostile behavior is prohibited. The Guardian Beast "Dragon Lizard" of the Tree of Life is also a friendly unit.

Unauthorized hostile behavior is prohibited... Dialogue can be triggered after awakening "psionic power".]

[Server Announcement: The map level of the 100 kilometers around Potato Port has been lowered to 0 and included in the safe zone. The recommended map level for areas beyond 100 kilometers is set to level 30...]

The subsequent announcement flashed across the screen, and Ye Shi didn't read it carefully. He only glanced at the results of his mission.

Overall, Aguang gave a lot.

Ten thousand contribution points are insignificant compared to his seven-digit contribution points, and his contribution point level has long been capped.

However, the two rewards of one million silver coins and the title of "Jungle Conqueror" are still quite nice.

Especially the latter, you can use it to make fun of Chicken Killer.

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Guangfeng, who was sitting at the table, suddenly thought of something and looked at Ye Shi and said.

"Speaking of which, after this trip is over, do you really plan to look for the remains of that pioneer civilization?"

Although the news of the establishment of an exploration team outside the solar system did not cause a particularly big stir on the official website, it was quite noisy in the NPC world.

Especially the residents of the most avant-garde ideal city, many people even took a special flight to the southern sea area and even Friesport to inquire about where to sign up.

These people are indeed otakus, but their mobility is not that strong either.

Facing Guangfeng's questioning look, Ye Shi also stopped his joking expression and nodded seriously.

"Yes, I have already thought about it."

When he said this, he paused for a moment and then continued.

"Sometimes I feel... this game is like a real world. In fact, there was no so-called main line from the beginning. The so-called main line was discovered by ourselves during the game. Do you still remember the beginning?

When we were burning cement together."

Listening to Ye Shi suddenly talking about things that happened a long time ago, Lao Bai couldn't help but put a nostalgic smile on his face.

"Of course I remember... Speaking of which, we have been playing this game for so long."

"It's been a long time. To me, it's like...another life, a completely different life from reality."

Ye Shi nodded and continued.

"Actually, since then, I have been looking for the meaning of this game to me, just like thinking about my real life, including why I came to this world, and what other people in this world mean to me.

What are you looking for... Although I may not realize it myself, but thinking about it carefully, maybe from that time on, I no longer regard people in this world as simple NPCs."

The turning point of all this may have been the death of an old man named Ji Xiang.

Of course, it's not just Jixiang, there are many other NPCs that he can name.

He would rather sacrifice himself than let them suffer any harm.

Looking at Ye Shi, who rarely showed a serious expression on his face, Kuangfeng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"So, you found it?"

"That's right," Ye Shi smiled sheepishly, "I can't tell you exactly when I found it, but by the time I realized it, I had already thought of everything...including what to do next.

Things, including where to go in the future and so on."

He wanted to see a distant world.

Of course, the most important thing is to be with the person you made an appointment with.

"Congratulations." Understanding his mood, Fang Chang reached out and patted his shoulder, "Also, I support your choice."

"Haha, don't make it sound like I'm going somewhere far away. It's just that we won't be able to play black together for a while. Besides, I'm not leaving right away. We have another mission."

Ye Shi smiled sheepishly, then looked at his good brothers seriously and said.

"Thank you...you have always been with me who is not mature enough."
To be continued...
